V. Typescript Contains 100 pg Cut from Release

[jbor]

Although, you'd imagine that the archivists would have recognised the stuff
if it was in the later novel too. I'd be more interested if it was something
which hasn't appeared elsewhere. But I do agree that it probably gets recast
or recycled in a later work, Pynchon being the avid environmentalist he is.
